Ms Karin Jonsson:

I agree with the previous speakers. To add to that, childcare plays a positive and important role in prevention and early intervention with children and families in any situation that might relate to child poverty or issues leading to child poverty. Sometimes childcare is the only service that a family accesses and that can be the way in towards addressing all the different issues and gaining training, education and employment. Childcare places play a very important role in our society and should be available to everybody.
